At 6 months, I have traced my child's hand and made a little stitchery out of it. I combined it with a photo of them at 6 months. It is fun to have a little comparison of all my kids at 6 months!
For the frames, I took the $1 wooden frames you can buy from Michael's. I think you can buy them from other craft stores, but Michael's is the cheapest I have found.
I simply painted the sides white...
Cut scrapbook paper to cover the frame (just trace around the frame onto the paper)...
Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge onto the frame to glue the paper to the frame. I also applied a layer of Mod Podge over the paper to seal it.
Pretty easy, right? Love it!
LOVE this. {And I love those $1 frames too!} What a sweet way to preserve a memory! Would you consider sharing it here?

That's a great idea which I will definitely try...just have to learn to hand stitch first - I'm hopeless. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwe I love this, so cute! I love the idea of tracing the baby's hand. Thanks for sharing this at The Winthrop Chronicles.
